BN(O) status holders with a non-UK professional qualification may need to have their qualification officially recognised to work in a profession that is regulated in the UK. Regulated professions in the UK include jobs like teaching, social care, law, doctors, dentists, nurses, and social care worker. These professions need to be recognised by the appropriate regulator for that particular profession.

You can find a detailed list of professions and their relevant regulator here.

Professionals with non-UK qualifications should contact the appropriate UK or Scottish regulator for further information. If professionals are uncertain of the appropriate regulator, they can contact the UK Centre of Professional Qualifications [UKCPQ] to find out which regulatory or professional body they should contact for further information on how to get their professional qualification recognised.
